It’s my blogiversary! And I only realised because Carol at Reflections from the Fence wished me a Happy Blogiversary, thank you Carol, and I’m enjoying a virtual version of “The Trip” you’re doing. (Lovely photos – go and have a look.)

When I started my blog I was just playing around with old family photos, my family history and stories and I never expected anyone would actually READ it. Well, I thought my siblings might (they don’t) but I have lots of people from all over the world reading and commenting, and I’m really surprised. So, thank you 🙂

I post rather sporadically when inspiration strikes and time allows, so here’s to the next year.

Thanks Greta – I’m also on a Clear Out Mission and another 3 bags of stuff left the house this morning and were donated to charity. At the speed I’m going at, all I’ll have left will be B/M/D/Census documents and copies of Wills 🙂

Jo, I’m a little late, but I wanted to wish you a very Happy Blogiversary as well. I think I’ve been following you the entire time, and I’ve enjoyed many of your posts. The most memorable is about your purple car! I always smile when I think of you and it together. Cheers to you.

Cheers, Barbara – enjoyed your post about the painting. There is a painting in our family of the house that I grew up in, done by my great granny. She was a very old lady by the time I remember her (90+) but had painted a lot in the previous years. Hang onto your treasure 🙂 The purple car is awaiting either an engine rebuild or selling on 😦 not decided yet but missing it terribly.
